Herstedhøje in Vestskoven, which the Danes call Dansktoppen", was created from 600,000 truckloads of excavated earth from the 1960s' many new developments in the western suburbs of Copenhagen, supplemented with rubble from slum clearance throughout Greater Copenhagen. "Sketches for a Vestskov" were prepared by a team of planners in 1964 and was later initiated by forester E. Laumann Jørgensen supported by the "Plant a tree" campaign. According to the plans, the forest was to have clearings, a fringe, light woods, commons, open grassland and plenty of scope for enjoying life in the open air.
